Since children began getting vaccinated, COVID cases among kids nearly doubled in one month. The vaxxed follow the SAME protocols as unvaxxed

It almost seems like the vaccinated children are spreading it to their peers.

In December, a total of 38 kids had been hospitalized. And while hospitalizations are up, so too are the number of sick kids. This month, 1,643 tested positive for the virus. That's compared to 980 kids who tested positive in November.
